Facility Overview
The 150 Nassau St Garage (designated as Lot #87) is a premier, professionally managed indoor valet garage situated in Lower Manhattan's Civic Center and Financial District border. Located directly beneath the landmark 1890s American Tract Society Building at the corner of Nassau and Spruce Streets, this facility provides secure, weather-protected vehicle storage right in the center of downtown New York City. The garage features an attendant-operated valet system where staff safely maneuver and park your vehicle within the multi-level covered structure, maximizing safety and convenience. Vehicle clearance inside the facility is set at 6 feet 9 inches (6'9"), easily accommodating sedans, station wagons, compact crossovers, and standard mid-to-full-size passenger SUVs. However, high-roof commercial vans, lifted trucks, dually pickups, and vehicles carrying rooftop cargo racks that exceed the 6'9" height limit cannot enter. An oversize vehicle surcharge typically applies on-site for larger SUVs, minivans, and pickup trucks.

For those transitioning to public transit, the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall station (4, 5, 6 trains), Chambers Street station (J, Z trains), and City Hall station (R, W trains) are steps away, while the Fulton Street transit center (2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, J, Z lines) is located just four blocks south.

Visitor & Driver Tips
To avoid confusion, enter 2 Spruce Street, New York, NY 10038 into your GPS navigation system rather than the Nassau Street pedestrian address, as the vehicular entrance and valet ramp are exclusively on Spruce Street. Downtown Manhattan streets can experience bottleneck delays during morning and evening rush hours, particularly near the Brooklyn Bridge approaches, so allow 10 to 15 minutes of buffer time. Reserving your spot ahead of time through online reservation apps guarantees availability and unlocks significantly lower drive-up rates. Keep your paper valet claim ticket safe upon drop-off, as attendants will require it in combination with your mobile reservation confirmation when retrieving your car.
